At Close Quarters.

David w. Judd, of the american
AgricUlturiSt, who makes annual tours
through the far western States and
Territories, narrates the following:
One August afternoon we made the
ascent of Helen's Mountain, in the
range forming the boundary of North
Park, Colorado, TO catch view of the
superb sweep beyond. 1t was a long
and wearisome climb, but the magniti-
cent views stretching far away in every
direction richly repaid us. Far be-
low lay the beautiful Estes Park, and
extending as far rs the eye could reach
appeared peak after peak, many of
them covered with snow here in July.
Nestled beneath us several hundred
feet was miniature lake covered
with ice, which did not yield to the
stones hurled upon its surface
After feasting our vision for some
hours we began the descent, which
was very difficult, inasmuch as falling

When half way down the mountain,

Judge of my dismay when Rocky
Mountain lion suddenly sprang from
the thicket, rested upon broken tree

glazing upon me, apparently prepared
TO spring upon the intplder who had
entered his lair. 1t was a most eX-
citing mohent. | quickly brought my
rifle 70 the shoulder, and aiming be-
tween his eyes, drew the trigger to no
effect. Again and again attempted
to discharge the rifle, forgetting in the
suspense that the cartridges had been
withdrawn. 1t was in Iced a trying

SIumber Song.


Mine o, my sweet, with the CLEAN Of the
sunshine
Caught fast in the twist of your silky-brown
curls.
Mlne Only mine Though the ocean has
given
You teeth of the whltest of undersea pearls.
Mine o, my life!-though the skies that are
Are prisoned for aye in the blue Of your
eyes;
Held, though the heavens be darkest or clear
In sunlight and glow, or when storm-clouds
arise.
Slumberi The little waves lap on the margin
The lake lieth still as secret untold;
Eight-dews fall fast on the tall, bowling
On lake grass and reeds, where the lilies
unfold.
Sleep soft The white moon is sailing above
you.
Dream sweet For the west wind is calling
you low.
Down by the doorway the blue-bells are ring
ing,
AS, touched by the breezcs, they swing to
and fro
slumbering soug-birds are resting in silence
While mother-birds, wakeful, the nests safe
ly keep.
So do j, darling, bend softly above you,
Still watching and guarding you now as you
sleep.

SoIiloquizing Aloud.

Lord Dudley was the absent-minded
peer, who, meeting Sidney Smith in a
London street, said: dime with me
to-day, and / will get Sidney Smith to
meet you" His Lordship once went
to church to hear Smith preach. Seat
ing himself near the pulpit. he listened
attentiyely On the preacher saying
something that pleased him, he tapped
with his cane on the floor, and in an
audible whisper cried out, Hear!
Hearw as if he had been in the House
of Commons.
His habit of talking to himself, his
two voices, squeak and bass, and
the two names in his title, earl OF
Dudley and Ward" prompted wit to
say that it seemed like Lord Dudley
conversing with Lord Ward"
A country gentlemen persuaded
Lord Dudley to present him at court.
At st. James street their carriage was
stopped for half an hour by the line of
carriages driving to the reception.
As his custom was, Lord Dudley be-
gan to soliloquize aloud: "Now this
tiresome country squire will be ex-
pecting me to ask him to dinner. Shall
ask, or shall l notP No; / think he
would be bore"
The gentleman was not a little con-
founded at first, but recollecting, his
companions infirmity, he, too, began
an audible soliloquy:
Now, this tiresome old peer will,
of course, be asking me to dine with
him to-day. Shall / go or shall mot
go? No; | think he would be a bore.
His Lordship laughed and gave
cordial invitation, which was at once
accepted.
His habit often led him to express
his opinion of the viands at friends
table if the dishes did not please him,
for he was fond of good living.
Lord Wilton, who had one of the
best cooks in London, one day invited
Dord Dudley to dine with him. Sud
denly Dudley, having tasted dish of
which he did not approve, began
apologizing to the company for the
cooking, as if he had been at his own
table.
The fact is" said he, "that my
head cook was was taken i'll, and some
kitchen girl, | suppose, has been en-
ployed to cook the dinner"
Rogers, the poet and banker, had a
bald head, wrinkled skin, and sunken
cheeks, which gave him a corpse-like
appearance. When Lord Dudley was
plain Mr.. Ward he and Rogers dined
together at friends house. Rogers
apologized for being late, saying that
his own carriage had broken down and
that he had been obliged to come in a
hackney coach.
''In hearse, should thinkw whis-
pered Ward to himself, but the COM
pany heard the words.
Rogers, who did not enjoy a person
atty unless he was its author, never
forgave him the laconic soliloquy.
Shortly after he got off this epigram:
''They say Ward has no heart, hut deny it. -
He has heart, and sets his speeches by it.

The Colored Folks in Maryland.

The average negro cares only for the
present, He forgets the past and dis
regards the future Prospective rainy
days have no terrors for him; if he earns
81 to-day instead of his usual 80 cents,
he will not work tomorrow. There
are four preferences which are COM
mon to colored men-linen busters,
razors, chickens, and cathartic pills
To the country darky linen buster is
the insignia of prosperity He gen
orally gets ii size or two too large
and has it we'll starched. He wears it
as often as he possibly can. Last sum
mer an excursion, by water, of colored
people came here from over the bay.
Nearly all of them, women as well as
men, wore linen busters. just why
nine negroes out of ten carry razors
can not be explained, but that they do
carry them is fact. and in every free
fight someone always gets slashed. At
Il colored camp-meeting held few
weeks ago this notice was conspicuous
ly posted;
Dinner, 25 cents; with chicken, 30
cents
1t was the most eloquent kind of evil
dence as to the negro's appetite for this
fowl. The boarding-tent keeper was
a man of experience, and although
chicken was very cheap in that section,
he knew that 25-cent dinner would
not pay for tho chicken a colored man
could eat AS to the pills, the darkies
are always imagining themselves sick.
They know of but one remeSy-pills.-

A Glimpse at Lyman TrumbuIL

Residents in the vicinity of Oakland
have abundant opportunity to point
out the Hon. Lyman Trumbull to
visiting friends. He is to be seen
nearly every summer afternoon work
ing among the old-fashioned flower
beds of the garden surrounding his
plain house on Lake avenue. His
brother and sons live around him. The
ex-senator bears his years well. His
face is no more wrinklcd than when,
fifteen years ago, it was a subject for
the pencil Of Mast. He lives quietly,
going into society very little. He is
supposed to be out of politics. The
newspapers rarely ask him for his
views But passengers on the suburban
trains notice that when occasionally
some acquaintance approaches his seat
with bit of political information TO
convey his eye lights up. He rides
home on the train every day for lunch,
returning to his Office by 2:30. His
law practice is enormous. 1t is said
to be worth $50, 600 year There are,
it is said, not half dozen lawyers in
the west who command fees so large,
especially upon corporation law. The
firm as a rule handles none but heavy
cases, but lately the ex-enator's son,
Perry TrumDull, has returned to his
fathers office after ten years eXper-
fence on the board of trade, and has
resumed practice in that class OF busl-
ness Chicago Nct0S.

When Gen. Sam Houston was Gov

persistent in causing the prosecution
of a defaulting oilicer-so much so, in
deed, that the friends of the accused
raised the cry of persecution. The
Governor. speaking of this to COM

that he was prejudiced against the de-
faGlter, declaring that he had no other
motive than the enforcement of the
laws. and said that he should probably
have the opportunity of convincing the
public thai he had no feeling of ami
mostly against the man. The evil
dence against him will be so over

General, "and no petit jury in the
world can fail to convict the criminal
